32
Q

Describe the PL 1-5 spinous process treatment

A

Treatment: e-E Adduction RA (torso) RT (pelvis)

– Exampleshown:RightPL4SP

– Use ipsilateral LE (right LE) to lever lumbar spine;

doctor stands on opposite side (left side)

– Lift ipsilateral LEcauses lumbar extension

– Externally rotate LErotates pelvis toward TP

(right) and rotates torso away from TP (left)

– Adduct ipsilateral LElumbar Sidebending left

Q

34
Q

What is the treatment?

A

Superior medial surface of the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)

E Adduction IR/ER

use the ipsilateral LE to lever the lumbar; stand on the opposite side and figure out which motion improves the patients tenderness

35
Q

Where is the lower pole lumbar point of tenderness and what is the treatment?

A

On the ilium just inferior to PSIS pressing superiorly

F IR Adduction

– Sit on same side as TP, patient prone

– Flex ipsilateral leg off table

– Use ipsilateral knee to IR and ADduct the leg

36
Q

What is the high ilium sacroiliac tender point and what is the treatment position?

A

2–3 cm lateral to the PSIS pressing medially toward the PSIS

e-E ABD ER

***Use ipsilateral leg to extend, Abduct, and ER the leg
